ApplicationUser user = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>().FindById(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.GetUserId());

With the ApplicationUser instance, how can i get all the Roles of the user?

Answer 1

You can get user and assigned roles by using UserManager.

var userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>();

and then you can get your user like you already did, and also you can get roles for particular user by calling GetRoles method

userManager.GetRoles(userId);
